We Wish You A Merry Christmas

STAR OF HOPE

- by Del "Abe" Jones

They came to pray, on Christmas Day

When, the Christ Child was born -

They came to see, Virgin Mary

Bear hope for the forlorn.

Some from afar, followed that star

Though why, they were not sure -

At great expense, brought frankincense -

And gifts of spice and myrrh.

They gathered 'round, as if spellbound -

Their eyes lit by the glow -

For, from the bed, o'er Jesus' head

There was a bright halo.

That Child did things, to poor and kings

With the gaze of His eye -

He gave some hope, helped others cope

And some, He made them cry.

Down on their knees, they said, "Lord, please

Stop pain and suffering.

Make all on Earth, of the same worth

With the joy, that you can bring."

"Please teach of love, from God above

Shared, by each fellow man.

Show us the way, what we must say

To fit, the Heavenly plan."

He tried for years, to end mans' fears -

Brought miracles each day -

He taught His word, (not always heard)

And for our souls, He'd pray.

But, it seems greed, had sown its' seed

For some, 'twas much too late.

And though He cared and, always shared

The Cross had sealed His fate.

Now, all mankind, for being blind

Must someday, pass the test.

But, if lived right, both day and night

Mans' future could be blessed.

So Christmas Day, take time to pray

To bow your head and see

That God above, will send His love

For all eternity.

At home and far away, we celebrate the gift of our Lord Jesus and pray for Peace on Earth and Good Will To ALL!
